MANILA, Philippines – If you love McDonald's fries, you're not alone – Yeezy thinks they're great too, so great that he wrote an entire poem about them for Frank Ocean's Boys Don't Cry magazine.
Kanye West's poem, titled "The McDonald’s Man," was accompanied by photographs of him by Nabil Elderkin at a McDonald's drive-through.
Here's the full text of Kanye's poem, according to Billboardand photos of the poem posted online:
McDonald’s man
McDonald’s man
The french fries had a plan
The french fries had a plan
The salad bar and the ketchup made a band
Cus the French Fries had a plan
The french fries had a plan
McDonald’s man
McDonald’s
I know them french fries have a plan
I know them french fries have a plan
The cheeseburger and the shakes formed a band
To overthrow the french fries plan
I always knew them French fries was evil man
Smelling all good and sh-t
I don’t trust no food that smells that good man
I don’t trust it
I just can’t
McDonald’s man
McDonald’s man
McDonald’s, d-mn
Them french fries look good tho
I knew the Diet Coke was jealous of the fries
I knew the McNuggets was jealous of the fries
Even the McRib was jealous of the fries
I could see it through his artificial meat eyes
And he only be there some of the time
Everybody was jealous of them French fries
Except for that one special guy
That smooth apple pie.

Boys Don't Cry, which dropped on Saturday, August 20, also had contributions from Tyler, the Creator, James Blake, and A$AP Rocky.
McDonald's appreciated the love they got for their fries and apple pies, and said so on Twitter. They weren't so crazy about Kanye's dig at their McRibs though.
"Like the beef in our burgers, our love for our fans' creativity is 100% real," they wrote.
